Back On All Fours!!!!!!!!!!
How great it is to see this car back on all fours. Quite amazing from what it looked like eight weeks ago. Now, it's time for paint prep and a new coat of blue before the Gathering in May.

Just got it in my shop at home about 10 minutes ago. I have other cars that I need to work on but this one will get my attention on the weekends.

1994 Admiral Blue ZZZZZR1
We would love to talk to you about what cars you have (ZR-1 / ZR1) and what it's like to drive in there!!! (make us all jealous!)
Between Bret's car being there, drag racing, GM engineers and every LT5 tuner speaking about modifying the ZR-1. (from stroking the motor, to headers, suspension and brakes)

Melting Slicks
The mules were normal models with a lt 5 in it, thus did not have the light. The prototypes (both the 1988 King of The Hill cars and the 1989 ZR-1s) which were built with the ZR-1 body parts did have the light.

I'll probably wait to post more pics until it's got some blue paint on it. It's really coming along.
The PhaseII engine also has some rare things that were only used on a couple of engines, according to Geoff. He's just about got the engine done now. Can't wait to install it!

btw....anyone remember the dozen or so lt5 engines and partial engines that appeared on ebay a few years ago....some guy had come across a jackpot....maybe....of test engines or rejects...or who knows. He supplied plenty of photos and they looked like the real deal...but rough.

I do believe that Jerry and Ron bought those engines.
A few prototypes a few test motors with cut outs in the chain area.
I know Jerry ended up with some interesting motors.
